Wilmington Police Department (228 sworn officers) recently arrested a local man on multiple drug charges after a substantial anonymous tip came through the tip411 application.
According to a correspondent, Wilmington PD’s narcotics received a tip from an anonymous tipster through the WPD tip411 program. After a two-month investigation, they had obtained enough information to execute a search warrant.
The search led to the discovery of 38 grams of cocaine, 30 grams of methamphetamine, 366 grams of marijuana, 82 bindles of heroin, and 118 doses of Percocet in the house. Along with the drugs, Wilmington PD also seized $8,000. Police then arrested Kawaun Marquee Canty, 42, for numerous drug trafficking-related offenses.
Wilmington PD said this case is a great example of how citizens can get involved, utilize the tip411 platform, and provide police with valuable information anonymously.
